Commento su I Cronache 12:23
כִּ֚י לְעֶת־י֣וֹם בְּי֔וֹם יָבֹ֥אוּ עַל־דָּוִ֖יד לְעָזְר֑וֹ עַד־לְמַחֲנֶ֥ה גָד֖וֹל כְּמַחֲנֵ֥ה אֱלֹהִֽים׃ (פ)
Di giorno in giorno gli uomini venivano da David per aiutarlo, fino a quando non vi fu una grande schiera, come quella di Dio.
Rashi on I Chronicles
For from day to day [men] came to David to help him The meaning is: What is the purpose of continuing to recount who came to him? The final analysis is that at all times people were coming to David.

Rashi on I Chronicles
until it became a huge camp, like the camp of God The meaning is that David’s camp should not have been so large, but from God the camp was so large, because they came to him by the counsel of God. And that is the meaning of “like the camp of God.” A similar instance of this is (Gen. 32: 2): “the camp of God” of Jacob. We can also say that because of the magnitude of his armies, it was called “the camp of God.”
